Ted's Birthday Month

If you’ve
been reading long, you know that Ted and I celebrate the whole month, not just
the day, for our birthdays.June is Ted’s
month and I always think he gets less birthday than I do.For one thing, June only has 30 days, while
December (my birthday month) has 31 days.

The job
he has in Japan takes a lot of his time in June.The summer is short in Hokkaido, so outdoor
students have to pack a lot of camping, climbing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking,
etc. into a short amount of time, which means every weekend and some of the
weekdays. This week he is away at an outdoor educators conference, followed by
a two day hike up to the highest onsen in Japan.I saw him and one of his students off to the
airport by bus.

We have
had a few birthday meals together.We ate at Ren Ren Ren Chinese Restaurant last
week.
